Well that's good news, but it does bring to mind the possibility that it could happen. Perhaps we should consider forming an association like the NAR or AOPA...

I'd agree, Dan. Often times these new regs are put in place and those that it effects find out too late. In addition to the NAR http://www.nar.org/ there is...
I'm not so sure. TRA has only about 3000 members. Yes, probably larger than the HAB population but still a group with a common interest. I'd envision a HAB...

I think one of the big problems is that there is really no industry that is dedicated to AHAB. Sure, there are APRS tracker and balloon manufacturers out...

I've talked to Pat (of SimSat) with AMSAT recently. There appears to be very little interest from AMSAT in near space. I would argue that near space is the...
That is disappointing. Did he give any reason for it? With all the similar engineering challenges, I'd think they would promote it as a stepping stone to...
